31st May - 19th July 2011.
The natural world around us - a constant theme in our exhibitions - this time concentrates on birds - song birds, sea birds, marsh birds and farmyard fowl, all interpreted through the vision of painters and printmakers, ceramicists, a woodcarver, sculptor and jeweller.

5th April - 15th May 2011, exhibiting work that reflected fresh growth and renewed hope for the seasons ahead.

Painters ANDREW WADDINGTON and ROD WALKER use figurative elements in their otherwise abstract canvases to express this vitality and so does JILL FANSHAWE KATO in her hand-built stoneware ceramics. LYNDA RUTH BROWN’s oils and monoprints capture the spirit of St. Ives, whilst KIRSTEN GLASBROOK’s woven tapestries invoke philosophic thoughts. JOANNA WASON’s relaxed sculpted figures invite contemplation and JOHN MALTBY’s stoneware sculpture and wall panels reach back to the archetypal symbols of man, birds, angels and the vicissitudes of life. JANE BOWEN’s earthenware pots are sunny and vigorous in decoration - perfect for dining outdoors. Leaves and birds in gold enhance the silver jewellery of GUY ROYLE; in RITA SERES’ necklaces beads from many lands tell the story of her travels.

In good time for Harvest ‘EARTH’S RICH STORE’ celebrated the fecundity of nature through collages and original prints by MARK HEARLD and ANGIE LEWIN, oil paintings by TESSA NEWCOMB and sculptural ceramic vessels by ANNA LAMBERT with jewellery by GUY ROYLE and WENDY RAMSHAW and stone sculpture by BAZ MEHEW.

The WILD WOMEN painters are BIDDY PICARD and her daughter GRETE BOANN PERRY, who have lived close to nature all their lives.

Biddy’s collection spans a lifetime of painting and ranges from early abstracts, monoprints, stylized oils of the Penwith peninsula, still life, pen and wash harbour scenes to her current pen drawings of young women.

Elaine Pamphilon’s paintings and Sue Binns’ domestic pottery were shown in the main gallery. Robina Jack’s glass panels hung in the windows of the glasshouse with Diana Barraclough’s abstract tiles and ceramic totem, and small oils by Kate Loveday and Sheila Stafford.
‘Wave Sculptures’ by James Barnsley were in both gardens.
